I wasn’t sure about sharing this recipe, because it is against my ideals of cooking from scratch… I made this with boxed pudding…but don’t worry, it is ORGANIC!
I made this quick dessert last weekend, when we were invited to our friends’ house for dinner. She was making Thai green curry and I thought a nice coconut dessert would go well to finish off a lovely meal.
Well, the ...

Sometimes in the dead of winter, a salad is just what you need. Not a green salad really, but a winter salad. I admit that in winter, I tend to substitute my love of salads for veggie-laden soups and stews. But there are salads that are very appropriate for the winter months, especially if you are craving that fresh crunch!
There are so many blog and social media posts a buzz this week about ...

Anyone that knows me well knows how much I love the Yuletide season. Maybe it is because I was born on 12/12 – a lucky day indeed! We celebrate The 12 Days of Yule in our household, so this is also one of the busiest times of year for me, full of ritual, offerings, house cleaning and cleansing, decorating, cooking, baking and honoring my ancestors and The Holly King.

Who doesn’t love a pumpkin pie smoothie this time of year?
As my internal seasonal food calendar informs me, it is entirely appropriate to continue enjoying pumpkin spice everything through Thanksgiving. So go one and give into that craving! What makes this smoothie special is that I have used Icelandic Skyr and Cajeta, goat’s milk caramel to give it a slightly unique flavor; not too sweet and ...

Grilled Mahi Mahi burgers from Trader Joe’s topped with a homemade fresh mango salsa!

My favorite gluten free bread baking cookbook is Gluten-Free and Vegan Bread: Artisanal Recipes to Make at Home by Jennifer Katzinger and I especially like her various sandwich bread recipes. Usually I make the Soft Millet Sandwich Bread and a couple of weeks ago, I had mixed the bread dough, preheated the oven and was all ready to slide my bread in, when I realized my oven had shut off and ...

I read a wonderful article last week, Sacred Strawberrying Time! about strawberries and their symbolism to Indigenous peoples of the Eastern nations (like the Cherokee, Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), Ojibway, Shawnee, and hundreds of others), where it is referred to as the “heart berry” and is strongly linked to women.
